I am
currently addicted to Korean products and I have been following their facial
care routine which is crazy. At first I can't believe how rigorous and long the
steps are but in the end I decided to give it a try. I skipped some steps which
I think are not important because I am living in a tropical country.
Step 1
Wet
Wipes. For removing make-up.
I am using Great Love wet wipes, I
bought this randomly in the nearest supermarket and it is Alcohol free. 12
wipes for P20. You can also buy wipes on drugstore/cosmetic stores if you like.
Step 2
Facial
wash.
I am
using The Face Shop Rice Water
Bright Cleansing Foam I like the smell and
it feels mild and delicate. I like it better than my previews facial wash which
makes my face feel clean but dry. So I am glad I switched to this. I recommend
this for people with combination skin.
Step 3
Facial
scrub
St. Ives Blemish Control Apricot Scrub it scrubs off your dead skin. It makes your face feel soft and
clean which I like. I only use this 3 times a week. I bought this in Watson’s
for only P60.
Step 4
Toner
or Refresher.
I am
using the sample of Etude 7 in 1 wonder pore freshner. It doesn't make my skin breakout,
doesn't feel dry and it's cheap compared to other toners. I want to buy the
500ml size but it is always out of stock and mine is running out T.T I need to
buy this soon!
Step5
Facial
Clay Mask.
I have
just recently started using Innisfree Jeju Volcanic pore clay mask.
I have only used it twice but I think it
has already reduced my blackheads ^,^ i only use this once a week. My sister
uses this also and she said that it makes her face feel soft. By the way you
have to wait for 15 mins. before washing it off.
Step 6
Facial
Sheet Mask.
I use
various facial masks but I always skip this step because I need to wait for another
15 minutes. Well it helps moisturize and hydrate your skin. It feels good but I
am quite impatient.
Step 7
Eye
cream
I am
using
The Faceshop Smim Repair eye cream which is one of the first Korean
facial products I have bought. I saw lines under my eye and panicked so I bought
this. It is effective for me because it reduces the visibility of the lines
under my eye and it absorbs fast too. But I think the packaging is too bulky.
Anyway I will definitely buy this again because of its effectiveness. Eye
creams are pricey but I got this with their 1+1 promo. So it's a good buy for
me.
Step8
Essence
I am
using The Faceshop Smim Essence. It absorbs really well because of
its consistency. It makes my skin look bright and healthy in the morning. I
purchased this together with my eye cream so it is also a good deal.
Step 9
Moisturizer
I am
recently using VMV Hypoallergenics. It is ok for me but I don't recommend it
for oily skin. My sister has oily skin and goes to dermatologist for skincare,
it is very expensive that’s why I am using over the counter products -.- anyway
she wants to try something that is not prescribed by her dermatologist so she
bought and used this once and she had a breakout ,so she gave it to me. VMV is
cream based so it feels a little heavy on your face but it moisturizes my face
so it’s okay.
I was using Neutrogena moisture oil free before this and it is not cream base so it feels lighter but sometimes it makes my face itchy.

Well
that is IT!
I have
been doing this regimen for a month and I have already seen the difference. I felt
that it has made my skin younger and healthier so I am sticking to it. I want
to try other products too so if you can recommend some to me, that would be great!
